Thankfully, though, she is vaccinated. She received her first dose of the vaccine alongside her late husband Prince Philip back in January 2021.
The Palace has yet to confirm any information about subsequent vaccinations, citing the Queen’s medical privacy. The other good news here is that the royal matriarch reportedly has a relatively mild case of COVID.
The Palace revealed in their announcement that she is “experiencing mild cold-like symptoms” right now, but that she also “expects to continue light duties” at Windsor Castle throughout the coming week.
